The definition of technology is the practical application of science to trade or industrialize. There are not any top technologies because there isn't just one thing you need in order for it to work, there are a couple. For example: a cellphone you need a service provider, a sim card, money in order to make a call, and a couple of other things for the cellphone to be of good use. Another example is the laptop: you need internet, a hard drive, programs, charger and much more. In technology, you cant just have one thing to work and expect the rest to fall into place, you have to take it each step at a time.
I think that AES should use computers and laptops more often. It should be a necessity that everyone has their own laptops. That way if someone damages or breaks a laptop, it'll be their own one and the school wouldn't have to pay for anything. Plus we probably wouldn't use paper as much as we use it now because we could send our paper in via email. Life would be so much easier...

Agreeing With Kurt Vonnegut
"What you can become is the miracle you were born to work—not the damn fool computer."
I agree with Kurt Vonnegut because we are the ones who are suppose to evolve not the computers. Technology has improves so quickly over the last few years but we have still stayed the same. I am a Luddite, I personally don't like using computers or laptops, I prefer to hand write or hand in a hard copy rather than sending via email.
In The Euphio Question, Lew and Fred had used the technology from space to make people happy. They broadcast a "hissing" sound over the radio and anyone near it would become happy and forget all problems. You didn't have to be in the room for the happiness to overcome you, the radiation would still get you. The conned people into buying land but the people are too happy to care. An unexpected blackout happened and Fred realized that the sound can hurt people and destroy lives, so he suggested that they exterminate the "hissing" sound. Lew on the other hand wanted to make millions and billions because one shot of the radiation and you didn't have a care in the world. Fred, out of anger, crushed the machine and destroyed it forever. Or so he thought. While talking to the Federal Communication Center, Fred was explaining to them that the sounds waves where bad and were taking over their lives, but Lew cleverly gave Fred a shot of the radiation and everyone went high.
I think what Kurt is trying to say; is that technology is taking over our lives. We are so obsessed with getting the latest gadgets that we are not living our lives the way we should be. Our grandparents keep saying, "That's not how we used to do it in the older days." But their right we have evolved but not for the best. We have become so preoccupied with discovering space and reinventing the Ipod that we don't even have time to think about our surroundings and what we are doing to the planet.
Hopefully we realized and notice the problem before its too late.

My new goals:

HOLY WAR!!
The definition of Holy is "dedicated or devoted to the service of God, the church, or religion." War is "a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air." Holy War is an oxymoron because the words are completely different. Ones represents peace and the other represents violence.
The people are fighting for what they believe in, the more people that die the stronger their religion becomes. Many people think that by killing your making your point loud and clear.
